Below programs illustrate the working of getActualMaximum() Method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
// Java Code to illustrate// getActualMaximum() Method  import java.util.*;  public class CalendarClassDemo {    public static void main(String args[])    {        // Creating a calendar        Calendar calndr            = Calendar.getInstance();          // Getting the maximum value that        // year field can have        int yr            = calndr.getActualMaximum(Calendar.YEAR);        System.out.println("The Maximum year: "                           + yr);          // Getting the maximum value that        // month field can have        int mon            = calndr.getActualMaximum(Calendar.MONTH);        System.out.println("The Maximum Month is: "                           + mon);    }} |
Output:
The Maximum year: 292278994 The Maximum Month is: 11
Example 2:
// Java Code to illustrate// getActualMaximum() Method  import java.util.*;  public class CalendarClassDemo {    public static void main(String args[])    {        // Creating a calendar object        Calendar calndr            = new GregorianCalendar(2018, 9, 2);          // Getting the maximum value that        // year field can have        int yr            = calndr.getActualMaximum(Calendar.YEAR);        System.out.println("The Maximum year: "                           + yr);          // Getting the maximum value that        // month field can have        int mon            = calndr.getActualMaximum(Calendar.MONTH);        System.out.println("The Maximum Month is: "                           + mon);    }} |
Output:
The Maximum year: 292278993 The Maximum Month is: 11
